WxKnurd Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Slow to change over and terrible dendrite growth, same old song and dance here. Still will hit forecast totals but on the low end barring getting in a good band again like earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackerel_sky Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 11 minutes ago, No snow for you said: Damn it. We better not lose Mack over 1/16 of an inch of snow. Still holding on strong! Have lots of bare spots, don't think I'm gonna get a total blanket! Hard to get accumulation with toasty ground and flurries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not complaining, figured we’d start as rain but also thought when I woke up at 6:3 we’d be all snow since it was a mix at 4. Once it flipped completely things went off, just in a patch of terrible flake size right now. Can’t “reasonably” complain about a non-bust just because of low end of the range totals, but it still stings because of the reasons why. Reminds me of the start to that storm a few years ago when QueenCity racked up down in Ft Mill while you and I were sitting here in a minimum for the area due to dendrite growth over us sucking for far too long.

That was the 14 storm. It took forever for the column to get right that day. Ratios are only going up from here so dont give up yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackerel_sky Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 So much for the 12:1and 14:1 ratios around here GSP was talking about . Have about 1/2:1 ratios. 1/2 a snow flake : to 1 rain drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s trying to, thought it would when this band got over me but just can’t get the nickel sized flakes to return. 2-3” down here should be a given with what has to come through.

WidreMann Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Called it. Ofc, it's snowing now, but it's at 33 and now the other models show temps warming through the event. Not sure how, but I guess that's the way things go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowNiner Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 I'm sure I'll get some light accumulations for the next few hours, but it's going to be light due to temps above freezing. That 5 inches ain't happening. This line is moving quick too, hopefully this will slow down and pivot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WidreMann Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 I'm still baffled by the warming. In what universe does moderate or more than moderate snow with a north wind and a completely cold column result in temps warming at the surface? I swear, every storm there's a new meteorological phenomenon that comes in to screw us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowinnc Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 This super light snow in North Central Wake County is for the birds. NWS said that we should have moderate snow now. Wrong. Why do I get my hopes up every time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No snow for you Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 So we are adding Raleigh and mooresville to places with more snow than Greenville after today. At least I don’t live in simpsonville Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowGator Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 The snow hole that was modeled for the past two days over Forsyth county GA was pretty darn accurate. Barely got enough snow to coat the pavement....not enough for sledding or anything. It is brutally cold and windy though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PackGrad05 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 I'm in Willow Spring in southern wake and it is not sticking to my roads. Yet, 12 miles to my northwest, roads are covered. What difference does 12 miles make? Is it just surface temps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
